Anotace: The task of this work was to analyze the drainage conditions of the river basin Myslavsky Creek with the aim of proving the increasing

flood risk in the area of Hornad River Basin as a result of newly constructed built areas. Drainage conditions of the reference area were
compared on the basis of two time periods, for years 1980 and 2010. Two maps of land use were processed for two years. Total runoff
coefficients were calculated based on the processed maps, which differed because in 1980 the territory was not so built up compared to now.
The calculated results were also proved by using PCSWMM – Storm Water Management Model. The results prove that the maximum 2010
runoff at the area has increased by almost double from 1980. The increased discharge, therefore, requires flood protection measures in the
area
